Designed for College Students Taking a Course on Sexual Ethics
In Love, Reason, and God's Story: An Introduction to Catholic Sexual Ethics, Dr. David Cloutier provides readers with a basic understanding of the history of Catholic teaching on sexual ethics, particularly as it has evolved in the last half century. By engaging students in serious intellectual discussion, this author allows them to integrate that discussion with the practical questions that affect their lives.
This text explores the historical, spiritual, practical, and normative elements of Catholic sexual ethics in a way no other book does. Love, Reason, and God's Story is faithful to the Catholic tradition, engaging, accessible to students, and pedagogically structured to encourage critical thinking about dating, marriage, and sexuality.
"Cloutier knows how to engage undergraduates, introduce them to the tradition broadly conceived, and show them (by example) how to reason."
-Julie Hanlon Rubio, PhD

"I have decided to use the Cloutier book in the fall. It is a marvelous combination of official teaching and diverse views. It sparkles."
-Ed Vacek
Boston College
“I found Cloutier’s book Love, Reason, and God’s Story: An Introduction to Catholic Sexual Ethics to be faithful to the Church tradition while also having some of the ‘cool’ factor that college students enjoy.”
-Fr. Leo Perez, OMI
Associate professor of Moral Theology
Oblate School of Theology
“Cloutier understands today's college students and presents Christian sexual morality in a way that can reach them.”
